Expected daily cases by region
Figure 1: The results of the latest reproduction number estimates (based on estimated cases with a date of infection on the 2020-03-20) in the United States of America, stratified by state, can be summarised by whether cases are likely increasing or decreasing. This represents the strength of the evidence that the reproduction number in each region is greater than or less than 1, respectively.

Table 1: Latest estimates (as of the 2020-03-20) of the number of cases by date of infection, the expected change in daily cases, the effective reproduction number, the doubling time, and the adjusted R-squared of the exponential fit. The mean and 90% credible interval is shown for each numeric estimate.
Reported and estimated cases by date of onset and time-varying reproduction number estimates
Figure 2: A.) Cases by date of report (bars) and estimated cases by date of infection. B.) Time-varying estimate of the effective reproduction number. Light grey ribbon = 90% credible interval. Estimates are shown until the 2020-03-20.Dark grey ribbon = 50% credible interval. Confidence in the estimated values is indicated by shading with reduced shading corresponding to reduced confidence.
Time-varying rate of spread and doubling time
Figure 3: A.) Time-varying estimate of the rate of spread, B.) Time-varying estimate of the doubling time in days (note that when the rate of spread is negative the doubling time is assumed to be infinite), C.) The adjusted R-squared estimates indicating the goodness of fit of the exponential regression model (with values closer to 1 indicating a better fit). Estimates are shown until the 2020-03-20. Light grey ribbon = 90% credible interval; dark grey ribbon = the 50% credible interval. Confidence in the estimated values is indicated by shading with reduced shading corresponding to reduced confidence.
Regional Breakdown
Data availability
- Case counts by date, stratified by region, were downloaded from a publically available source curated by Johns Hopkins University (“2019 Novel Coronavirus Covid-19 (2019-nCoV) Data Repository” 2020; Abbott et al. 2020).
- Case onset dates were estimated using case counts by date of report and a distribution of reporting delays fitted to a publically available line-list of international cases (Xu et al., n.d.; Abbott et al. 2020).
Limitations
- Line-list data to inform a State specific estimates of the reporting delay were not available.
Summary of latest reproduction number and case count estimates
Figure 4: Cases with date of infection on the 2020-03-20 and the time-varying estimate of the effective reproduction number (bar = 90% credible interval). Regions are ordered by the number of expected daily cases and shaded based on the expected change in daily cases. The dotted line indicates the target value of 1 for the effective reproduction no. required for control and a single case required for elimination.
Reproduction numbers over time in the six regions with the most cases currently
Figure 5: Time-varying estimate of the effective reproduction number (light grey ribbon = 90% credible interval; dark grey ribbon = 50% credible interval) in the regions expected to have the highest number of incident cases. Estimates are shown up to the 2020-03-20. Confidence in the estimated values is indicated by shading with reduced shading corresponding to reduced confidence. The dotted line indicates the target value of 1 for the effective reproduction no. required for control.
